Dental Maximum Rollover® Save Your Unused Claims Dollars For When You Need Them Most

Guardian will roll over a portion of your unused annual maximum into your personal Maximum Rollover Account (MRA). If you reach your Plan Annual Maximum in future years, you can use money from your MRA. To qualify for an MRA, you must have a paid claim (not just a visit) and must not have exceeded the paid claims threshold during the benefit year. Your MRA may not exceed the MRA limit. You can view your annual MRA statement detailing your account and those of your dependents on www.GuardianAnytime.com.

Please note that actual maximum limitations and thresholds vary by plan. Your plan may vary from the one used below as an example to illustrate how the Maximum Rollover functions.

Plan Annual Maximum*

Threshold Maximum Rollover Amount In-Network Only Rollover Amount

Maximum Rollover Account Limit

$1500 $700 $350 $500 $1250

Maximum claims reimbursement

Claims amount that determines rollover

eligibility

Additional dollars added to Plan Annual Maximum for

future years

Additional dollars added to Plan Annual Maximum for

future years if only in-network providers were used during the

benefit year

Plan Annual Maximum plus Maximum Rollover cannot exceed $2,750 in

total

* If a plan has a different annual maximum for PPO benefits vs. non-PPO benefits, ($1500 PPO/$1000 non-PPO for example) the non-PPO maximum determines the Maximum Rollover plan.

Here’s how the benefits work:

YEAR ONE: Jane starts with a $1,500 Plan Annual Maximum. She submits $150 in dental claims. Since she did not reach the $700 Threshold, she receives a $350 rollover that will be applied to Year Two.

YEAR TWO: Jane now has an increased Plan Annual Maximum of $1,850. This year, she submits $50 in claims and receives an additional $350 rollover added to her Plan Annual Maximum.

YEAR THREE: Jane now has an increased Plan Annual Maximum of $2,200. This year, she submits $2,100 in claims. All claims are paid due to the amount accumulated in her Maximum Rollover Account.

YEAR FOUR: Jane’s Plan Annual Maximum is $1,600 ($1,500 Plan Annual Maximum + $100 remaining in her Maximum Rollover Account).

For Overview of your Dental Benefits, please see About Your Benefit Section of this Enrollment Booklet.

NOTES: You and your insured dependents maintain separate MRAs based on your own claim activity. Each MRA may not exceed the MRA limit.

The MRA measurement period runs on a calendar year. If you have a benefits effective date in October, November or December, your Maximum Rollover measurement period will start as of the first full calendar year, because the MRA measurement period must be at least 4 months or more in a calendar year. For example, your MRA measurement period begins January 2016, and your MRA rollover date is January 2017.

(Actual eligibility timeframe may vary. See your Plan Details for the most accurate information.)
